Hello and welcome to One Hundred Days Plus.

:00:09.:00:10.

It took two and a half weeks and finally the Conservative Party

:00:11.:00:13.

has a deal to support their minority government.

:00:14.:00:15.

Theresa May has the backing from Northern Ireland's DUP,

:00:16.:00:17.

The Prime Minister promised Northern Ireland a billion pounds

:00:18.:00:22.

It's been a busy day for Mrs May - in the House of Commons she laid out

:00:23.:00:30.

the government's post-Brexit offer to EU citizens living in the UK.

:00:31.:00:34.

No EU citizen currently in the UK lawfully will be asked to leave

:00:35.:00:40.

at the point the UK leaves the EU - we want you to stay.

:00:41.:00:45.

Also, President Trump says the Supreme Court has just given him

:00:46.:00:48.

The justices will let part of his immigration order go forward

:00:49.:00:53.

and will hear the whole case in October.

:00:54.:00:59.

You're both over 50. That will cost you.

:01:00.:01:04.

The battle over healthcare - more Republican senators say

:01:05.:01:06.

they don't like the party's new health care bill and even

:01:07.:01:09.

And India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi comes to Washington

:01:10.:01:15.

for his first meeting with Donald Trump.

:01:16.:01:26.

Welcome to the programme, I am Christian Fraser

:01:27.:01:28.

in London Katty Kay is in Washington.

:01:29.:01:30.

Finally, the British Prime Minister has a working majority

:01:31.:01:33.

to keep her in office but only thanks to a expensive deal

:01:34.:01:35.

with the largest party in Northern Ireland.

:01:36.:01:40.

The agreement signed today with the DUP ensures that ten

:01:41.:01:42.

Unionist MPs will side with the Government on confidence

:01:43.:01:45.

The deal guarantees Northern Ireland an extra

:01:46.:01:51.

$1.2 billion, or ?1 billion of funding over the next two years.

:01:52.:01:55.

And the DUP could even come back to ask for more after 2019.

:01:56.:01:59.

So Mrs May has some explaining to do to her critics -

:02:00.:02:03.

how come money is hard to find for schools and hospitals,

:02:04.:02:05.

but not when it comes to keeping the Conservatives in power?

:02:06.:02:09.

Well today, the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party

:02:10.:02:11.

said that the deal was of benefit to the whole of the UK.

:02:12.:02:19.

Throughout these discussions our commitment has been to acting

:02:20.:02:23.

in the national interest in accordance with our shared

:02:24.:02:26.

objective for strengthening and enhancing our precious union.

:02:27.:02:35.

In concluding this wide-ranging agreement, we have done so in terms

:02:36.:02:38.

of enhancing the security of our nation, building prosperity

:02:39.:02:42.

for all and supporting an exit from the EU that benefits all parts

:02:43.:02:44.

The DUP's Sir Jeffrey Donaldson signed the official

:02:45.:02:50.

paperwork for the deal today and he joins me now.

:02:51.:02:58.

Hello, thank you for being with us. It has been described in all sorts

:02:59.:03:06.

of ways in the House of Commons, a grubby deal, and there will be many

:03:07.:03:10.

people in the country who say, why is the Government using taxpayers'

:03:11.:03:17.

money to stay in office? Well, good evening from Westminster. There's a

:03:18.:03:22.

clear reason for this, Northern Ireland sustained 30 years of a

:03:23.:03:26.

terrorist conflict in which our infrastructure was seriously damaged

:03:27.:03:30.

and money that should have been invested in infrastructure was spent

:03:31.:03:34.

on security during that period. Which meant we fell away behind the

:03:35.:03:39.

United Kingdom, the rest of the UK, in terms of bringing our

:03:40.:03:43.

infrastructure up-to-date. So this money is to help address that

:03:44.:03:49.

deficit. To improve our hospitals and schools, and to address the

:03:50.:03:53.

deficit in public services. So I think there is a case to be made for

:03:54.:03:57.

Northern Ireland. We have made the case. We have made it to the

:03:58.:04:00.

Government and we have won this extra money for Northern Ireland. So

:04:01.:04:05.

while there will be some critic, I listen to the Labour Party

:04:06.:04:10.

criticising extra money for schools and hospitals and roads and housing

:04:11.:04:14.

and creating more jobs in Northern Ireland, but why would that be a bad

:04:15.:04:19.

deal for part of the United Kingdom? Clear something up for us, there is

:04:20.:04:23.

some confusion in Northern Ireland today, is this money dependent on

:04:24.:04:27.

the power-sharing Executive being reformed? Obviously our preference

:04:28.:04:31.

is that the Northern Ireland Executive gets up and running. We

:04:32.:04:35.

want to see a properly functioning government in Northern Ireland. We

:04:36.:04:39.

are ready do that today. However, in the absence of an Executive, this

:04:40.:04:43.

money is ear-marked for Northern Ireland. We have a mechanism between

:04:44.:04:48.

the Conservative Government and the DUP that will ensure the money is

:04:49.:04:53.

delivered for Northern Ireland if there isn't an Executive. So it can

:04:54.:04:57.

be spent through direct rule? Yes, because ultimately if we don't have

:04:58.:05:01.

a functioning government in Northern Ireland, then Westminster has the

:05:02.:05:05.

responsibility to ensure that Northern Ireland is governed. The

:05:06.:05:10.

issue of the border isn't in the deal, but explain something to me,

:05:11.:05:15.

what's to stop a member of the European Union, somebody from

:05:16.:05:20.

Romania or Poland, landing in Dublin, wandering across the board

:05:21.:05:23.

tore Northern Ireland, getting a job in Belfast and travelling to London

:05:24.:05:32.

and taking up residence in London? Well that presupposes we don't have

:05:33.:05:36.

modern technology. Of course we do. When you walk down the high street,

:05:37.:05:40.

you're being watched by CCTV. We have got the technology now to

:05:41.:05:46.

follow people wherever they go. So if someone lands in Dublin and

:05:47.:05:51.

crosses into the United Kingdom and gets a job in Belfast, the

:05:52.:05:54.

authorities in Belfast will know about that person. If they seek to

:05:55.:05:57.

travel to other parts of United Kingdom, the authorities are going

:05:58.:06:01.

to know about that person. Every time I travel from Belfast to

:06:02.:06:04.

London, there is a record of my travel and my journey. So the idea

:06:05.:06:09.

that people can move about freely and government doesn't know what

:06:10.:06:13.

they're doing, I'm afraid doesn't reflect the reality. But that is

:06:14.:06:23.

still a hard 300 long mile board tore -- border to track everyone.

:06:24.:06:26.

You're saying you will be able to track every person that goes,

:06:27.:06:32.

arrives in Dublin and goes north? Of course not. We are not saying you

:06:33.:06:41.

track them at the point they cross the board -- border, although we do

:06:42.:06:49.

monitor the movement of vehicles on a daily basis. Dublin shares

:06:50.:06:53.

information with London already about the movement of people in and

:06:54.:06:57.

out of the country. Of course there are ways in which people can cross

:06:58.:07:04.

the border. . But when they're in Northern Ireland, they can't hide

:07:05.:07:09.

forever. They're going to have to come out and if they want to be

:07:10.:07:14.

employed, Northern Ireland is a small community of 2 million people.

:07:15.:07:19.

The idea you can hide thousands of people in that small community just

:07:20.:07:23.

doesn't reflect the reality of the situation. Of course, we are going

:07:24.:07:26.

to know that people are there. And if they seek to move to other parts

:07:27.:07:31.

of UK. Their movements will be monitored.

:07:32.:07:34.

We want to talk to you more about Brexit.

:07:35.:07:38.

Today the Government set out its offer for EU citizens

:07:39.:07:40.

It's a 15-page document that will now form part of the negotiation.

:07:41.:07:45.

We have picked out some of the most interesting elements.

:07:46.:07:47.

Those granted "settled status" in the UK

:07:48.:07:49.

will be able to work, study and claim benefits

:07:50.:07:51.

The cut-off date will be sometime before March 2019.

:07:52.:08:00.

Once EU citizens have been in the UK for five years they can

:08:01.:08:03.

But importantly there will be a two-year grace period

:08:04.:08:06.

If there is to be a transition period for business after March

:08:07.:08:18.

2019, then the EU has already signalled that single market rules

:08:19.:08:20.

would have to apply - and that includes free

:08:21.:08:22.

This two years grace period could form a basis

:08:23.:08:26.

for a transitional trade deal somewhere down the line.

:08:27.:08:28.

Today Mrs may said she wanted to address the concerns

:08:29.:08:30.

The leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn said her offer

:08:31.:08:34.

I know there's been some anxiety for EU citizens

:08:35.:08:37.

about what would happen at the point we leave the EU.

:08:38.:08:40.

Today I want to put that anxiety to rest.

:08:41.:08:42.

I want to completely reassure people that under these plans no EU citizen

:08:43.:08:45.

currently in the UK lawfully will be asked to leave at the point

:08:46.:08:49.

By making an offer only after negotiations have begun the PM

:08:50.:08:53.

has dragged the issue of citizens and families deep into the delicate

:08:54.:08:56.

and complex negotiations of our future trade relations

:08:57.:08:58.

with the EU which she herself has being willing to say

:08:59.:09:01.

This is confirmation the govt is prepared to use people

:09:02.:09:10.

Sir Jeffrey, come bg back to you, who should have jurisdiction when it

:09:11.:09:23.

comes to EU citizens, the British or the European Supreme Court? We

:09:24.:09:26.

believe it should be in the British courts of course. Because the UK

:09:27.:09:31.

will be leaving the European Union. I think the proposals that the Prime

:09:32.:09:36.

Minister's put forward are entirely reasonable and I think quite

:09:37.:09:40.

generous. We haven't yet heard from the EU. The detail of thier

:09:41.:09:47.

proposals ago the rights of British citizens living in EU states it

:09:48.:09:52.

would be good to hear how generous they are going to be those people.

:09:53.:09:57.

Arlene Foster will be influential in this debate. How can she be so

:09:58.:10:03.

influential in the UK Government and also in Stormont. There is clearly a

:10:04.:10:09.

conflict of interest? I'm not sure that there is. In the end

:10:10.:10:14.

immigration is a national issue, not a devolved issue. She is going to be

:10:15.:10:17.

in negotiations with the Government and then has to sit down in

:10:18.:10:22.

negotiation with Sinn Fein and she is talking to the Government about

:10:23.:10:28.

the power sharing is and she can whisper in the the Prime Minister's

:10:29.:10:33.

ear. If Sinn Fein took their seats at Westminster, they have seven MPs.

:10:34.:10:37.

They choose to exclude themselves from Westminster from the national

:10:38.:10:40.

Parliament. That is their choice. We didn't put them out. No one else

:10:41.:10:43.

did. They took that decision themselves. And look the DUP has ten

:10:44.:10:49.

MPs elected to Westminster. Why should we have a voice? Do my

:10:50.:10:55.

constituents not have the right to be represented at Westminster and

:10:56.:10:59.

Stormont. It was Westminster that established the devolved government.

:11:00.:11:03.

But there are different powers at store months and different powers at

:11:04.:11:07.

Westminster. Immigration is a Westminster issue and it is right

:11:08.:11:13.

that the DUP MPs at should have influence like other members of

:11:14.:11:16.

Parliament. If Sinn Fein want to have influence, they know what they

:11:17.:11:21.

need to do. Thabg their seat - take their seats at Westminster. That

:11:22.:11:24.

what is they were elected to do. Thank you for joining us. Is is very

:11:25.:11:32.

complicated and a real can of worms, there are issues of sovereignty,

:11:33.:11:37.

immigration of London being a fair player in the Northern Ireland

:11:38.:11:41.

agreements and there is Scotland and Wales saying f this money is going

:11:42.:11:44.

to Northern Ireland, what about us? I don't see how it is going to be

:11:45.:11:48.

easy for Theresa May to answer her critic on this. It is difficult. It

:11:49.:11:51.

will be some relief to the government that they have this done

:11:52.:11:55.

before Thursday, when they vote on the legislative programme. It

:11:56.:11:59.

wouldn't have been good to be seen to still negotiating, because things

:12:00.:12:03.

are chaotic enough and there will be that argument from Scotland and

:12:04.:12:08.

Wales. But Damian Green. Already is. Damian Green said there are lots of

:12:09.:12:19.

deals outside the Barnett formula. And Jeffrey Donaldson is right, why

:12:20.:12:26.

should Northern Ireland constituents be less important. I'm conscious as

:12:27.:12:31.

a northerner we never talk about the money that goes to places like

:12:32.:12:34.

Newcastle and Sunderland. The problem for the Government is each

:12:35.:12:37.

time they talk about austerity, everybody will point to this deal.

:12:38.:12:46.

Yeah. Now on to the news from the United States.

:12:47.:12:48.

A clear victory for national security.

:12:49.:12:49.

That's what President Trump is calling the Supreme Court's

:12:50.:12:52.

decision to partially reinstate his travel ban

:12:53.:12:54.

which has been held up in the legal system for months.

:12:55.:12:58.

It impacts citizens from six Muslim majority nations and now it will be

:12:59.:13:01.

enforced for anyone who doesn't have an existing relationship

:13:02.:13:03.

with a person or entity in the United States.

:13:04.:13:06.

The Supreme Court will examine the case in full in October

:13:07.:13:09.

and in today's statement the president said this ruling

:13:10.:13:11.

will allow him to use an important tool for protecting the US.

:13:12.:13:16.

Joining us now to discuss the impact is strategist Ron Christie.

:13:17.:13:23.

The president says this is a clear victory for him over a contentious

:13:24.:13:30.

issue, this travel ban, but it is not a total victory is it, they

:13:31.:13:34.

didn't go as far as he might have wanted. I think it is a big victory

:13:35.:13:38.

for him. In the sense of he gets his travel ban, he gets to say that you

:13:39.:13:42.

have to stay out of United States for a certain amount of time. But

:13:43.:13:46.

most importantly the Supreme Court will hear nit October. I think my

:13:47.:13:53.

reading is the justices want to look at this full and look at the

:13:54.:13:57.

conflict in the two circuits that have been looking at it and say we

:13:58.:14:02.

are going to rule on this. Spell this out for people who had been

:14:03.:14:07.

wanting to travel to the United States from those Muslim-majority

:14:08.:14:10.

countries, what does this mean for them in practical terms? If you have

:14:11.:14:16.

a relative, a job, if you have a presence, a contact in the United

:14:17.:14:19.

States, you're still free to come to the United States. If you don't have

:14:20.:14:25.

a someone or a reason to be here in the United States, then that means

:14:26.:14:28.

that the amount of duration for this ban, you can't come to the United

:14:29.:14:34.

States. I guess the question is will we see the chaotic scenes at the

:14:35.:14:40.

start. I remember that. On that Friday. The thing that struck me,

:14:41.:14:45.

looking at this ruling today, is they have looked at t purely within

:14:46.:14:49.

the confines of existing law. They have not talked about religion or

:14:50.:14:54.

people's faith. They have looked at it purely in the terms of sweeping

:14:55.:15:00.

presidential powers in terms of national security. That is right. If

:15:01.:15:06.

you look at what the party that sued the president on this ban said, they

:15:07.:15:10.

said it was a violation of the establishment clause, that says the

:15:11.:15:15.

Government cannot act in a manner that is contrito religion or have a

:15:16.:15:22.

nonsecular purpose. The president said the language is clear in the

:15:23.:15:28.

Orde hear the as his authority is -- order as his authority, he is

:15:29.:15:31.

allowed to say who can come to the United States and who he can exclude

:15:32.:15:35.

for national security purposes. When you look at the language at what the

:15:36.:15:39.

moving party who sued the president and what President Trump said, one

:15:40.:15:43.

said religion and President Trump was able to convince the court it

:15:44.:15:48.

was not a religion purpose for instituting the ban. Given what the

:15:49.:15:56.

president said it is not clear this what is they would rule.

:15:57.:15:58.

Last week, Republican Senators set out their proposal

:15:59.:16:00.

And in the run up to Congress's recess for the 4th July it's

:16:01.:16:07.

a big test for the party and President this week.

:16:08.:16:09.

The Senate said it would vote on the proposed plans by the end

:16:10.:16:12.

There are 52 Republican senators so they can't afford to lose

:16:13.:16:18.

And at the moment it's thought there could be as many

:16:19.:16:21.

as five Republican Senators who would vote

:16:22.:16:23.

Remember, some of these senators are in tight races in 2018.

:16:24.:16:27.

In an interview with Fox News, President Trump

:16:28.:16:29.

acknowledged its not easy to please everyone.

:16:30.:16:40.

Mean - that was my term, because I want to see,

:16:41.:16:43.

I want to see, and I speak from the heart, that's what I

:16:44.:16:46.

want to see, I want to see a bill with heart.

:16:47.:16:49.

Health care is is a very complicated subject from the standpoint that you

:16:50.:16:52.

move it this way and this group doesn't like it.

:16:53.:16:54.

You move it a little bit over here, you have a

:16:55.:16:57.

And honestly, nobody can be totally happy.

:16:58.:17:00.

This has to do with picking a plan that everybody's going to like.

:17:01.:17:07.

Among those Republican senators coming under heat

:17:08.:17:10.

for opposing the current bill is Dean Heller of Nevada.

:17:11.:17:14.

He faces a tough re-election campaign next year and on Friday

:17:15.:17:17.

he said this legislation would mean a loss of cover for millions

:17:18.:17:20.

of Americans, including a good number in his state.

:17:21.:17:24.

Well that has sparked a fierce ad campaign.

:17:25.:17:28.

A pro-Trump group is planning to pour in more than a million

:17:29.:17:32.

dollars to oppose Heller's decision and the other side is

:17:33.:17:35.

Nevadans need Senator Heller to vote no on health care repeal.

:17:36.:17:43.

Heller decides whether your costs go up by double digits.

:17:44.:17:50.

Whether you're one of the 138,000 who lose coverage.

:17:51.:17:54.

Whether Medicaid is gutted, putting disabled

:17:55.:17:55.

Heller decides whether our world communities suffer.

:17:56.:18:03.

Senator Heller, you have a deciding vote.

:18:04.:18:06.

Nevadans need you to vote no on health care repeal.

:18:07.:18:09.

Senator Heller has made his position clear.

:18:10.:18:13.

That it is unacceptable to us and millions of

:18:14.:18:15.

If you're opposed to this bill, we are opposed to you.

:18:16.:18:35.

I think that is the latest ad for the latest block buster. People

:18:36.:18:43.

thought they had got through the election campaign and now all

:18:44.:18:49.

they're getting is health care ads, Republican Senators seem to be

:18:50.:18:52.

inching away from their own health care bill. No question. If you look

:18:53.:19:01.

at this, you need at least 50. There is as many as six who want nothing

:19:02.:19:06.

to do with this. People like Rob Portman in Ohio, who says we are not

:19:07.:19:12.

doing enough with Medicaid and it has two billion and they want 40 --

:19:13.:19:20.

40 billion. It shows the gulf between those who want to spend a

:19:21.:19:25.

little. And those who say we should spend more. We are still wait fog tr

:19:26.:19:33.

CBO score of the congressional budget office, which has never been

:19:34.:19:38.

good, and then they go home to their constituents and they will get it in

:19:39.:19:45.

the neck there. They really to. -- they really do. In Corrado they have

:19:46.:19:55.

ads targeting their Senator and so this is a serious issue that these

:19:56.:19:59.

Senators are trying to deal with of how do I deal with the needs of my

:20:00.:20:04.

constituents, versus what the party leadership is telling us. It is a

:20:05.:20:09.

tightrope and this point I don't see the bill passing this week. Most

:20:10.:20:16.

other person count -- western countries do not spend time talking

:20:17.:20:21.

about health care. Here it is a such a make or break issue, how important

:20:22.:20:25.

is it for the president? It is significant. The Republicans have

:20:26.:20:29.

been saying for seven to eight year we want to get rid of Obamacare and

:20:30.:20:39.

knew they have the opportunity with the largest majority can they do

:20:40.:20:43.

:20:53.:20:56.

President Trump has been busy tweeting today -

:20:57.:20:58.

six times before 9 am and five of them about Russia.

:20:59.:21:01.

On Friday, the Washington Post reported the CIA had direct evidence

:21:02.:21:03.

that Russia was intefering in the electoral process

:21:04.:21:05.

And that Russian President Vladimir Putin had directly

:21:06.:21:10.

Donald Trump now insists it's all President Obama's fault.

:21:11.:21:22.

The real story is that President Obama did NOTHING

:21:23.:21:24.

after being informed in August about Russian meddling.

:21:25.:21:42.

I don't think there will be an apology. Tell me about this, what

:21:43.:21:51.

is, this series of tweets, he is acknowledging that there was Russian

:21:52.:21:54.

interference and you don't hear him say that very much. No, it is

:21:55.:21:58.

something that t intelligence agencies have been insisting on all

:21:59.:22:02.

along in the United States. And that lots of people even in his own party

:22:03.:22:07.

have acknowledged and tried to get him to acknowledge. He does now in

:22:08.:22:11.

this tweet storm seem to bg a knowledge that. But he has got a

:22:12.:22:15.

point, that even democrats will admit President Obama knew about

:22:16.:22:20.

this Russian interference, but shied away from doing very much about it.

:22:21.:22:31.

He did expel some diplomats. But President Trump said he didn't want

:22:32.:22:39.

to make it look like the election was illegitimate when Donald Trump

:22:40.:22:44.

was saying that the election was illegitimate. And so President Obama

:22:45.:22:50.

didn't take action against a pretty extraordinary thing. This all stems

:22:51.:22:55.

from this Washington Post article on Friday. I have tweeted it. The

:22:56.:23:01.

detail and Tex tent of the detail is extraordinary. One line struck me.

:23:02.:23:04.

They were talking about how the Americans would hit back, they said

:23:05.:23:08.

the Americans had implants in the Russian networks and there was

:23:09.:23:12.

concern in the administration that the damage might be caused to them

:23:13.:23:15.

Now there has been odd relationship between Donald Trump

:25:00.:25:01.

And it got stranger over the weekend because of a present

:25:02.:25:05.

Malcolm Turnbull was given a tie - more specifically, a tie

:25:06.:25:11.

from the Donald J Trump signature collection.

:25:12.:25:18.

I wonder if it is a long tie with Sellotape on the back. He sticks his

:25:19.:25:30.

tie down to stop it flying in the air. I don't understand why these

:25:31.:25:35.

priests are getting involved. It shows there is a thing between the

:25:36.:25:39.

Australian Prime Minister and President Trump. Or that the priests

:25:40.:25:40.

have a sense of humour. Maybe. You're watching 100

:25:41.:25:44.

Days Plus from BBC News. Still to come - we will look

:25:45.:25:46.

at the deal which will help the Conservative Party rule the UK

:25:47.:25:49.

and examine the billion pound cost. And with Narendra Modi in Washington

:25:50.:25:52.

for meetings with Donald Trump, it pits campaign slogans

:25:56.:25:58.

Days Plus, from BBC News. Those of you last week who

:25:59.:26:13.

complained it was too hot and we needed some rain for the gardens,

:26:14.:26:19.

well, be careful what you wish for. We have mad a beautiful day and we

:26:20.:26:25.

had some warmth in the south-east, highs of 25 recorded close to the

:26:26.:26:29.

London area. But the cloud is gathering to the north and west and

:26:30.:26:33.

in Belfast some threatening skies in the afternoon. Rain is on the way.

:26:34.:26:37.

So yes, the cloud here at the moment, and some of the rain heavy.

:26:38.:26:43.

So it will be good news for gardeners and growers, the rain will

:26:44.:26:46.

push through Northern Ireland and Scotland and Wales through the

:26:47.:26:52.

evening rush hour and over night. Some of it very heavy. We will see

:26:53.:27:00.

some rain in parts of Wales. Further south, we stay muggy through the

:27:01.:27:04.

night. So temperatures around 15 or 16 degrees to. The north of rain it

:27:05.:27:11.

could be chilly with low single fingers in the sheltered north-east.

:27:12.:27:16.

So a Chaly start -- chilly start here, but dry. The rain will be

:27:17.:27:20.

across the Western Isles in Scotland and the central Lowlands. A

:27:21.:27:24.

particularly heavy burst of rain for the early morning rush hour. The

:27:25.:27:27.

same in North west England and into Wales. Anywhere south of the

:27:28.:27:32.

Midlands down into south-east England and the south-west will

:27:33.:27:36.

start off dry, relatively mild with highs of around 17 degrees. The heat

:27:37.:27:41.

will build and it will be a humid feel in the south and that could

:27:42.:27:47.

trigger some sharp, thundery down pours. The rain moves north and east

:27:48.:27:56.

and sunny spells, scattered showers and breezy for the end of day. We

:27:57.:27:59.

are surrounded by low pressure late on Tuesday into Wednesday. So there

:28:00.:28:03.

will be some spells of rain continuing during the early hours of

:28:04.:28:09.

Wednesday morning. Some quite heavy, possibly thundery. That will be the

:28:10.:28:13.

story on the to Wednesday, a good down pour for the gardens and the

:28:14.:28:19.

growers will be happy. Not great if you have outdoor plans. The week

:28:20.:28:23.

will stay unsettled. Spells of rain and it will turn cooler, less summer

:28:24.:28:26.

like. Take care. Welcome back to One Hundred Days

:28:27.:30:07.

Plus, I'm Katty Kay in Washington. Britain's Conservative Party has

:30:08.:30:10.

signed a deal with a small party from Northern Ireland

:30:11.:30:16.

allowing it to govern This money is to help address the

:30:17.:30:31.

deficit and to improve hospitals and schools and to address the deficit

:30:32.:30:36.

in the public services. I think there is a case to be made from

:30:37.:30:37.

around. -- Northern Ireland. As India's Prime Minister,

:30:38.:30:41.

Narendra Modi prepares to meet President Donald Trump for the first

:30:42.:30:43.

time on his visit to We look at what the two leaders

:30:44.:30:46.

expect from each other. A deal has finally been signed -

:30:47.:30:56.

two weeks after British Prime Minister Theresa May found

:30:57.:30:59.

out her party had lost its working majority in the House of Commons,

:31:00.:31:01.

the Conservatives have now agreed a pact with Northern Ireland's

:31:02.:31:04.

Democratic Unionist Party. The deal with the party's ten MPs

:31:05.:31:08.

now means that Mrs May's conservatives do now have this

:31:09.:31:11.

majority and will be backed on key votes such as on the budget

:31:12.:31:14.

and Brexit legislation. But it's cost the Government

:31:15.:31:17.

an extra one billion pounds - that's in addition to the 500

:31:18.:31:21.

million already committed That deal is for two years -

:31:22.:31:25.

at which point it will be reviewed. I'm joined by Enda McClafferty,

:31:26.:31:32.

BBC's Northern Ireland Correspondent and our political reporter

:31:33.:31:34.

Eleanor Garnier at Westminster. Jeffrey Donaldson confirmed that

:31:35.:31:47.

this money would be spent in Northern Ireland are not the

:31:48.:31:50.

power-sharing executive gets back together. And wondering whether it

:31:51.:31:53.

might been better for the Conservatives to trim in some way

:31:54.:31:55.

stipulate that it had to be backed up and running before the money came

:31:56.:32:01.

forward? That was an interesting take because throughout the day here

:32:02.:32:05.

that has been much discussion around that issue because nowhere in the

:32:06.:32:08.

steel didn't specify if this money was coming to Northern Ireland

:32:09.:32:12.

regardless of an executive and running. The preference has been a

:32:13.:32:16.

local minister spend a lot of money was coming their way and health and

:32:17.:32:20.

education and if it was the case that the cash was group to become

:32:21.:32:24.

contingent and then getting a deal that would have put Sinn Fein and a

:32:25.:32:28.

very difficult position because they would've had to make a call on

:32:29.:32:30.

whether they were prepared to do a deal with the DUP and without doing

:32:31.:32:35.

a deal MOBILE PHONE RINGS Said to you was that money.

:32:36.:32:40.

In terms of what is happening right now, Arlene Foster started her

:32:41.:32:45.

morning rubber-stamping one deal with trees are me and right now she

:32:46.:32:49.

is behind us in this castle in discussions with Sinn Fein trying to

:32:50.:32:53.

agree another deal and time is running out because they have to get

:32:54.:32:57.

an agreement before 4pm on Thursday. To restore the power-sharing

:32:58.:33:04.

suggestions and. The billion pound is not a small boat of money for the

:33:05.:33:09.

payments to 2 cents to Northern Ireland. The much pressure will she

:33:10.:33:13.

be under if you try to push a necessity agenda and she has managed

:33:14.:33:16.

to find that much money to shore up our own Government? What has

:33:17.:33:19.

happened today has resulted in the shredding of a couple of pages of

:33:20.:33:24.

the Conservative manifesto that they set out during the general election.

:33:25.:33:28.

If you look at some of the pension benefits, winter fuel allowance, the

:33:29.:33:32.

Conservatives wanted that to be means tested but now it want, it

:33:33.:33:40.

will be universal. Also for pensions themselves, the Government wants to

:33:41.:33:43.

get rid of something called the triple lock which guarantees that

:33:44.:33:49.

state pension screw-up by at least 2.5% a year, the Conservatives

:33:50.:33:51.

wanted to scrap that could actually know that will stay in place.

:33:52.:33:56.

Clearly the Government 's plans have come under pressure and have had to

:33:57.:34:00.

make way to secure the steel and of course remember that without the

:34:01.:34:03.

steel Theresa May would not have been able to Government with a

:34:04.:34:07.

majority. It was key to her being able to get on with the governing of

:34:08.:34:13.

the day. Has she been left much strengthened and bold question mark

:34:14.:34:18.

I don't think so. She is perhaps less wobbly but not so strong. The

:34:19.:34:25.

point was made, why shouldn't the citizens of Northern Ireland have as

:34:26.:34:31.

much money as Scotland and Wales, but the concern has all those been

:34:32.:34:36.

the money goes to not only risk amenities that back the DUP and I

:34:37.:34:41.

suppose it Sinn Fein wanted guarantees that some of this money

:34:42.:34:45.

will be spent in their areas. Absolutely. Especially the money

:34:46.:34:49.

around infrastructure. We're talking about ?400 million. The only project

:34:50.:34:57.

specified in the deal is a major road infrastructure in Belfast. Sinn

:34:58.:35:01.

Fein would like to see money spread farther west because there are two

:35:02.:35:05.

major Rd schemes they are that drastically need funding and they

:35:06.:35:08.

will be keen to see that whatever money is left over from the 400

:35:09.:35:11.

million goes in that direction is because politically it will show the

:35:12.:35:15.

people that this warmth and good users been spread around all across

:35:16.:35:20.

Northern Ireland. It isn't as good news for once said of the community,

:35:21.:35:21.

everyone will share in it. America First meets India First

:35:22.:35:26.

today when Donald Trump hosts the Indian Prime

:35:27.:35:29.

Minister Narendra Modi. It's not clear how compatible

:35:30.:35:30.

these two visions are. Narendra Modi addressed that

:35:31.:35:33.

in an opinion piece appearing Joining us now is Alyssa Ayers -

:35:34.:35:35.

from the Council There are clearly a lot of areas of

:35:36.:36:05.

common interest between these two but there are sticking points to

:36:06.:36:09.

between India and President Trump at the moment particularly on the issue

:36:10.:36:12.

of immigration and President Trump and people around him would like to

:36:13.:36:16.

restrict the number of skilled Indians coming to work in the United

:36:17.:36:23.

States, much of a is that? I would imagine that by Minister Modi raises

:36:24.:36:27.

this and the context of workforce mobility. There are pretty limited

:36:28.:36:34.

avenues for the executive branch of the United States to make changes to

:36:35.:36:36.

immigration programmes overnight. The White House has started an

:36:37.:36:43.

executive review of the Visa programme for skilled workers and

:36:44.:36:50.

its outcome hasn't been announced yet but we would know that before

:36:51.:36:53.

the two leaders meet but only system that is really a Congress that has

:36:54.:36:57.

control over the major aspects of immigration. It can't be that the

:36:58.:37:01.

White House and ounces overnight a change in the number of visas, that

:37:02.:37:07.

would have to come... We saw this on the issue of climate change and

:37:08.:37:11.

presidents trump pulling out of the Paris accords. There are concerns

:37:12.:37:14.

amongst America's allies that America is retreating and other

:37:15.:37:17.

nations may step in to fill that void. We have seen Indian officials

:37:18.:37:23.

talking about climate change and they are ready and waiting to step

:37:24.:37:29.

in on this issue. I be good to see a more national standard interventions

:37:30.:37:37.

to India? With President Trump in office. It is a comparative change.

:37:38.:37:43.

All of a sudden it was as if under former President we worked very hard

:37:44.:37:49.

to work with India to come on board and premise Modi said was in India's

:37:50.:37:55.

own interests to be focused on joining the Paris commitment but no

:37:56.:38:01.

India is now a global leader of upholding this agreement at a time

:38:02.:38:05.

when the US are stepping back. And a comparative sense you do see in

:38:06.:38:09.

India stepping up to take on greater global leadership remained not have

:38:10.:38:12.

seen such an activist posture ten years ago. President Trump has put a

:38:13.:38:20.

lot of stall and personal relationships will stop racing to

:38:21.:38:25.

improve with China and these two are quite some, they are nationalists,

:38:26.:38:29.

populists, how do you think that might influence the relationship?

:38:30.:38:36.

They are populists but they are quite different personalities I

:38:37.:38:41.

think. By Minister Modi is very different from President Trump 's

:38:42.:38:46.

they appear to have different areas of focus, we would began in the

:38:47.:38:52.

segment was a potential clash between make America great again and

:38:53.:38:59.

by American and by Minister Modi's signature. You're not sure whether

:39:00.:39:05.

whether there will be an clash or an ability to find convergence. Fenn

:39:06.:39:10.

Street is an area we will find some convergence. It is good to be

:39:11.:39:15.

interested, the trump effect on other countries around the world.

:39:16.:39:22.

Ahead of the meetings, Donald Trump used twitter to call Narendra Modi a

:39:23.:39:30.

true friend. It is truly does have taken very well to social media.

:39:31.:39:36.

Donald Trump as such 2 million followers, Narendra Modi has 31. I

:39:37.:39:46.

need to up my game, 32 million. I think the point of this was making

:39:47.:39:51.

about the effect Donald Trump has on other countries is really

:39:52.:39:53.

interesting and whether other countries are stepping up on key

:39:54.:39:57.

issues like global warming to fill a void that has been left by the

:39:58.:40:01.

United States and other so that the something that concerns over this

:40:02.:40:05.

year and America who fear America's pulling back. Does she put the

:40:06.:40:11.

emphasis on the right things? On immigration but it is the surplus

:40:12.:40:16.

that India has with America is only about 50 billion music about the

:40:17.:40:21.

size of the two countries. Other big people who are concerned the made in

:40:22.:40:24.

some ways and settle the literature that has been going? Every single

:40:25.:40:35.

tech company in silicon valley. The supply so many people. The

:40:36.:40:38.

middle-class Indian workers are important to that industry. I want

:40:39.:40:44.

to show you the largest and most powerful ship ever built...

:40:45.:40:49.

is expected to take to the sea for the first time

:40:50.:40:52.

The ship is then expected to undergo sea trials in the coming months.

:40:53.:40:57.

Our Defence Correspondent, Jonathan Beale, reports

:40:58.:40:59.

The biggest warship ever built in Britain is about to go to sea

:41:00.:41:02.

It's been one of the largest, most complex engineering projects

:41:03.:41:06.

in the UK, that has taken years and cost more than ?3 billion.

:41:07.:41:10.

HMS Queen Elizabeth is now ready to set sail.

:41:11.:41:18.

Her crew of 700 are finding their way around the labyrinth

:41:19.:41:21.

inside, and getting used to life on board.

:41:22.:41:28.

Yeah, the beds, just the bed alone are bigger than you get on normal

:41:29.:41:31.

ships anyway, so that's always a good start.

:41:32.:41:33.

Yes, everything is better when it's newer, isn't it?

:41:34.:41:36.

It will be another year before the first jets take off and land,

:41:37.:41:42.

and she won't be fully operational until 2021.

:41:43.:41:46.

But this is a significant moment for the Royal Navy.

:41:47.:41:49.

It'll have been without an aircraft carrier for almost a decade.

:41:50.:41:54.

I think there are very few capabilities by any country that

:41:55.:41:57.

are as symbolic and totemic as a carrier's strike capability.

:41:58.:42:01.

These are very visible symbols of national power

:42:02.:42:06.

But first, they'll have to carefully manoeuvre this massive ship out

:42:07.:42:10.

of the dock, with the help of 11 barges.

:42:11.:42:16.

Just to give you a sense of scale, from one end of the deck

:42:17.:42:19.

to the other is about 300 metres, that is the length of

:42:20.:42:22.

As for height, from the keel to the top of that mast,

:42:23.:42:27.

that is taller than Nelson's Column and in fact they are going to have

:42:28.:42:30.

to lower that mast as they slide her through this dock,

:42:31.:42:34.

very narrow spaces, and eventually having to take her under

:42:35.:42:38.

That will be the beginning of her first sea trials.

:42:39.:42:50.

And, later this year, if it all goes according to plan,

:42:51.:42:53.

she will be sailing into her new home of Portsmouth.

:42:54.:42:56.
